Black Lives Matter: Massive Die-In At St. Louis Galleria Shuts Mall Down
Police at the St. Louis Galleria mall let protesters boycotting Black Friday peacefully demonstrate. Ultimately, the mall was shut down. In remembrance of Michael Brown laying on the ground for 4 and a half hours after he was shot to death by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, demonstrators held a “die-in” for four and a half minutes.
Now yelling “We shut s*** down!” Demonstrators on both floors. pic.twitter.com/vqi14IF0QC

I just learned that blacks aren’t “normal.”
@Emanuelewithane @FOX2now Notice it’s only blacks & a small # of young White SJWs? Normal people aren’t taking them seriously. #Ferguson

That’s a nice peaceful protest…
Nothing like the fighting and violence I have seen in other malls across the nation today..

Aint that the truth! I wonder how many low-wage employees were killed or injured at the Big Box stores today–yesterday too for that matter.
StoneyCurtisll November 28th, 2014 at 18:09
I saw a lot of footage of angry shoppers and cops…
It’s bedlam out there…
Stay home, Stay safe~!

I don’t go ANYWHERE on Black Friday or the day before it, which we once called “Thanksgiving Day”. I’ll make a quick supply run early tomorrow.
StoneyCurtisll November 28th, 2014 at 18:50
Dammit man..
That aint no “DEVO hat”…
That’s an Energy Dome~!
M D Reese November 28th, 2014 at 18:58
Oh gosh and golly–I’m so sorry! I’m reminded of Weird Al’s new song “Foil”. It gets really interesting about halfway through:

You bet. His new album, “Mandatory Fun”, has a lot of good ones. The videos are a scream. My favorites are “Word Crimes” and “Handy” where he does a character like Schneider from the old series “One Day at a Time”.
StoneyCurtisll November 28th, 2014 at 19:42
From what I hear, it is selling like hotcakes..
Hit number 1 in the top 200 on Billboard back in August..
M D Reese November 28th, 2014 at 20:06
Wow–I didn’t know that. I actually pre-ordered the CD when it came out–and I rarely buy a CD anymore. “Word Crimes” is great–I wish I had learned English grammar from Al. I subscribe to Pandora and I create “stations” with favorite artists and then put it on shuffle. It’s fun to have Weird Al pop up in the mix. I often like his parodies better than the original songs. “The Brady Bunch” is one of them.
StoneyCurtisll November 28th, 2014 at 19:20
Well I’ll be Sham Wowed…
I thought I saw Patton Oswalt in the video…:)
M D Reese November 28th, 2014 at 19:22
I see more and more things each time I watch it.
M D Reese November 28th, 2014 at 19:24
I had to look up Patton Oswalt–I think that you’re right. I know I’ve seen him around–like a lot of good character actors.
StoneyCurtisll November 28th, 2014 at 19:30
He co-stars on King of Queens..
And has a pretty good stand up act..
M D Reese November 28th, 2014 at 19:36
I’ve seen a few movies that he’s in–Zoolander and Superhigh Me–that was a great movie. And of course it didn’t get the results that the drug warriors are pushing.
StoneyCurtisll November 29th, 2014 at 11:53
Zoolander still makes me laugh.
StoneyCurtisll November 29th, 2014 at 11:55
David bowie made a brief cameo appearance..

I’d still like to know how he got his tightie whities off…
StoneyCurtisll November 29th, 2014 at 12:50
Even in slow motion…
I still have trouble with it….)
M D Reese November 29th, 2014 at 12:51
I’ll bet they used trick undies…

StoneyCurtisll November 29th, 2014 at 11:19

You’re right…
I just watched the ABC trailer..
Got to look close to see Patton..

Is that a Devo hat on John Wayne’s head? I think it must be time for a little something…

Nice to see peaceful and pointed protest rather than just the usual mob scenes fighting over the cheap TVs at Walmart or trampling the minimum wage employees who let them in.

Go after faux news, force the right winger leadership to say if they stand with the murder Darren Wilson, treat all right wingers as the sub human racist that they all are. That’s how you make change.
R.J. Carter November 29th, 2014 at 10:51
Darren Wilson was convicted of murder??? Damn this 24 hour news cycle, I always miss the important announcements.
